Key learning points
- The SSC [eil/eill] sounds like [è] + 'yih' and [ouil/ouill] like [ou] + 'yih'.
- The verb 'sortir' can mean either 'to go out' or 'to take out' depending on the context of the sentence.
- To say without something use 'sans' before a noun. To say without doing something use 'sans' before an infinitive verb.
- -IR verbs like 'sortir' and 'venir' end in -ons in the 'nous' form and 'ez' in the 'vous' form.
- The pattern is the same for the verbs 'dormir', 'partir', 'devenir' and 'revenir'.
Keywords
[eil/eill] - sound-symbol correspondence (SSC) like the 'eille' in 'bouteille', which means 'bottle'
[ouil/ouill] - sound-symbol correspondence (SSC) like the 'ouill' in 'brouillard', which means 'fog'
Sans - French preposition meaning 'without'
Common misconception
Like in English, 'sans' is followed by the -ing form of a verb in French.
In French, 'sans' is followed by the infinitive form of a verb, e.g. 'elle part sans dire un mot' - 'she leaves without saying a word'.
